Chapter 1006
Jeremy gulped. Giving Madeline up, he forced himself to turn around.
He used the day to spend time with the children.
Lillian still called him ‘Mister’, but it was good enough for him.
The sky darkened, and Madeline returned.
Jeremy placed the newly signed divorce papers in front of her and felt dizziness wash over him.
Assuming it was the slow-acting poison Lana talked about, he suppressed his reaction to it and gave Madeline a gentle, small smile.
“I don’t want you to suffer anymore, Linnie,” he stated gently, “Having gone through so much, I’ve come to understand that true love doesn’t mean possession. As long as you’re happy, I’m happy. That’s enough for me.”
Hearing her son, Karen asked worriedly, “What are you saying, Jeremy? Are you actually breaking up with Eveline?”
She asked, but Jeremy did not answer.
Karen then walked to stand beside Madeline. “Mom has done so many horrible things to you before, Eveline. Yet you’ve forgiven me despite my horrendous acts. Will you not forgive Jeremy this time?
“Yes, he made a mistake, Eveline, but he lost his memory and was under Lana’s control. That evil woman—”
“Even if Linnie forgives me, I still can’t forgive myself,” Jeremy interrupted Karen.
Staring at the divorce papers, Madeline took the pen and signed her name at the bottom.
Karen sighed hopelessly as she watched.
Jeremy’s heart fell into the void as frost began to shroud his entire being.
